Inspired by other special edition books, I created my own design for a premium copy of "A Game of Thrones". Targeted for hardcore fans of the series, I wanted to focus on a decorative, tactile cover that conveys underlying themes of the story.
The cover is bound in a thick, leather-like material with silver foil inlays for the design.
I made an intricate drawing of a wolf using ink to mimic a medieval illustration style.
The imagery of wolf's head paired with the sword foreshadows the ending of the book.
